Explore how technology is shaping our future while blurring the line between human and machine in this interactive event!
About this Event

Join us for a thought-provoking and interactive event where fiction meets technology.

Together we’ll explore how technological innovation challenges our ideas of what it means to be human, blurring the boundaries between human and machine.

Using examples from contemporary literature, film, and videogames, we’ll discuss how digital media influence and shape our everyday lives, and share conversations about AI, internet culture, and the future of identity.

Get creative by making your own book cover or movie poster inspired by the theme.

Come along if you’re curious about how contemporary fiction engages with digital media and share your thoughts on how technology makes us both more and less human. This event is designed for people aged 16+

This is a rescheduled event that was originally part of the Being Human Festival in November 2025. Being Human Festival
